Comments
Highly controversial public debates have recently constrained institutionalized political cooperation across national borders. What drives the underlying public attention to international politics and how do supra- and international institutions respond?
This seminar builds on a current research agenda and provides participants with analytical tools to analyze the public communication of and about the European Union and other international organizations, such as the IMF or the World Bank for example. It proceeds in three steps. First, we review key arguments on the public politicization of international institutions from different fields of political science. Second, we read and discuss empirical studies on the frequency, timing, content, and style of political communication about international institutions in domestic media, parliamentary debates, or election campaigns. Third, we will study whether and how the communication efforts of international institutions themselves live up to the increasing public politicization they face.
The seminar addresses students who want to deepen their knowledge on contemporary European and international multilevel governance, who are willing to engage in both the substantial and methodological issues of the literature, and who are prepared to actively participate during the individual sessions. Assignments include a presentation of a scholarly article and a term paper applying one of the discussed aspects to a freely chosen empirical issue of international politics. close
